The midsegment of a trapezoid divides into two equal parts the two sides from which it extends and, in addition, is parallel to both bases of the trapezoid and measures half the length of these.
Let's see the properties of the midsegment of a trapezoid in the following illustration:
If Midsegment
then:
Below is an isosceles trapezium.
EF is parallel to the base of the trapezium.
True or false: EF is the midsection of the trapezoid.
Given an isosceles trapezoid, is the dashed segment a middle segment of the trapezoid?
In which figure is the dashed line the midsection of the trapezoid?
In which figure is the dotted line the midsegment in the trapezoid?
Is the dashed segment the midsegment of the isosceles trapezoid below?
